Or worse. From the nets:

Mack Metcalf and Virginia Merida

A couple who won a $34 million jackpot in Kentucky in 2000 ended up living separate lives in separate mansions before their deaths.

Mack Metcalf and estranged-wife Virginia Merida split the jackpot but divorced in 2001. The Sun Sentinel reported that he bought a Mount Vernon-type mansion in Kentucky and she bought one near the Ohio River. He bought horses and she brought home stray cats, the paper reported.

He died of complications from alcoholism in 2003 at age 45, the paper reported. Later that same year, Merida’s partially decomposed body was found in her bed. There was no sign of foul play, officials said.

Yeah, some (a lot of in fact) people have no idea how to handle that kind of money and lifestyle.
